Yep! I don’t think it’s unrealistic that scientists would try to launch something into space to collect energy, although I don’t really know how sunlight and energy works out there. @thearcaneaxiom might have some better suggestions. (Sorry if you’ve already been on this topic, I don’t remember.)

@jonas

Yes, but we’re basically writing our own planets for now. I don’t really even know too much about what she’s doing XD. I think it would be cool to write some stories on each other’s worlds, but at least for me, most of my worlds need to be developed further before they would be ready for her to come and write something in.

Okay, yeah! C…[Read more]

@rae @princesachronicle22 @freedomwriter76 That’s okay! Just wondering 🙂 If y’all ever end up doing it lmk! 😀

@thearcaneaxiom Oh CWW is short for Crazy Writing Week, it’s a week long challenge to write and meet other Christian writers during that week! It starts tomorrow but today is like sign up and introduce yourself day.…[Read more]

Is anyone doing CWW this year?

@thearcaneaxiom

So start making a bunch of words for basic concrete concepts, then bonus points if you can ground those concepts in what is important to the locals where the language originated. After that, combine these concepts in all sorts of ways, again in the manner that would be important to the locals. Then you can add a hint of chaos,…

Looking back, I only found two occurrences of ‘Th’ and both were unvoiced. I’m not sure if that’s a coincidence or a rule of the linguistics that I just noticed. I’ll have to look at my list of names and see if there are any voiced ‘th’s.

@thearcaneaxiom

Also, maybe consider having a different number system, or base? You don’t have to, this is a simple prejudice of mine. I just find base 10 boring. Unless their is a unique reason for it.

And don’t worry, I most definitely will have planets with different number systems! I really like number symbolism, so I’ll be playing aroun…[Read more]

@thearcaneaxiom

So you’ve already got a lot of words down, so that’s really cool! Quick question, how is ‘Th’ meant to be pronounced? Is it voiced, like ‘that’ or unvoiced, like ‘math’?

I’d have to look back over all my words so far, but I know that the name ‘Thulac” has it unvoiced. I’m guessing it varies depending on the word, like in English.

@thearcaneaxiom

True. It’s hard to try to argue about the accuracy of the Bible with someone, because most likely neither of you have the time or knowledge to look into translational things and stuff like that.

@thearcaneaxiom

Right, and many simply discredit the “I Am” because John is regarded as the least reliable book, but there’s many indirect claims to His divinity throughout the other books. Like others calling Him God, and He doesn’t contradict them, and even commends them.

The problem is that for people who don’t consider the Bible entirely…[Read more]

@thearcaneaxiom

I do find Lewis’s Trilemma to be logically convincing though (many just say that Christ didn’t claim to be the Son of God in response though, so it becomes a historical problem).

It bothers me so much that people say that, because if you understand the culture and tradition of the time and the language being used, it becomes obv…[Read more]

@thearcaneaxiom

*appears from nowhere*

The flaw I see in that argument is the second premise. You have to accept some sort of multiverse theory where every possibility exists in some reality.  Furthermore, if the definition of “all powerful” includes being able to influence all realities, then would said being not be preeminent over all real…[Read more]

@thearcaneaxiom

Yeah, that could definitely have some unique impacts. That being said, I feel like changing the mass kind of defeats the idea of the mass shifting. It definitely could be a related ability, but perhaps those would could use the two powers in tandem would be a more rare bunch.

I guess it would probably make the most sense to have…[Read more]

(he coined the terms hard and soft btw).

Really? Huh. I didn’t know that. I feel like I’ve been aware of those terms for a super long time, but I didn’t read any of his books until last summer.

@thearcaneaxiom

I need to get more into Brandon Sanderson… I’ve read The Rithmatist and the Reckoners series, but nothing else. My brother and dad are really into Mistborn and Stormlight, though. My problem with reading epic fantasy is when I start, I can’t stop, and my sleep schedule becomes thoroughly messed up. Last time I read an epic…[Read more]

@thearcaneaxiom

That’s fair! I think the system has potential, though I do think it needs more of a mechanic to it. A version of telekinesis is cool, but what really sets it apart from normal telekinetic power? There’s the restriction to only cinders, and there’s some specific rules, but I think there could be more of a unique mechanic overa…

Y’all sound like very interesting people! It’s nice to meet you!

@hybridlore

Had you ever written stories before that, or was she the one who got you into it? I’d written some stories, mostly mysteries with anthropomorphic animals. 🙂

Would you own a fire-breathing cat if you had the option to do so? Absolutely. And I’d name him…[Read more]
